Dear Philippe,
You write they were compared to the summis , do you mean the "Summicron 90
mm" , the tele-portraitobjective I have?
yours sincerely

Funny,
I got about the same set of lenses last year - the 70 - 260 is HEAVY - you
apparently should be able to use it on other bodies as it has a T (2 or
4?) mount - just a locking screw and then rotate if I remember well).
The 50mm was good to excellent when it came out - I have the 1.4. They
were competing with the summis at the time the R3 came out.
As to the body mine were used on a FTbQL if it may help.
Other: I'm still looking for a way to use at least the 50 on the Lumix,
but it requires a "non yet tested by anyone I know " adaptor with a lens.
Good luck with the new babes.

Hi, all,
I've just been given a Canon TLb with an FD 50/1.8 (Chrome ring and
bayonet lens-hood, old style FD mount), an FD 28/2.8 (New style FD mount)
and a Vivitar 75-260 / 4.5 Zoom (Old FD mount) + a Vivitar Automatic 2x
Teleconverter ( [FL-FD] - whatever that means).
Having never used Canon cameras or lenses until the DSLRs came out, I was
wondering if anyone could tell me anything about the quality of the
above.
The TLb is fully functional (and very simple) but needs Mercury or Wein
cell batteries - can anyone recommend a good alternative body (assuming
that it's worth it for using the lenses I got) - I gather the A series
are pretty good and the F bodies are apparently superb - any pros and
cons?.
Thanks in advance
Douglas
